Free-agent LB E.J. Henderson (Vikings) is receiving interest from several undisclosed teams. There are concerns about his age, durability and the fact he is a liability in coverage. Henderson is pretty much limited to being a two-down run stuffer.

The Minnesota Vikings are interested in bringing back free-agent LB E.J. Henderson (Vikings), and "a couple other guys that we're keeping tabs on," according to general manager Rick Spielman. "Sometimes, they have to go out in the market to kind of establish what that value is."

Minnesota Vikings LB E.J. Henderson (knee) had swelling in his left knee in the second game of the season, and never seemed the same in space. He was reduced to a part-time role around midseason to ease stress on the knee, but he still ended up second on the team in tackles with 130, including 81 solo stops and 16 tackles for loss. He is likely to draw interest on the open market, but his age and declining mobility with a titanium rod in his leg suggest his days as a three-down player are over.

Minnesota Vikings LB E.J. Henderson can be a free agent at season's end, but he said Wednesday, Dec. 21, that his preference is to re-sign. "This is my home," Henderson said. "I would love to stay here. Of course, the money is important, to hit the market. But, I would love to stay here and finish my career here."
